It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer
        Bbsus4           Bb
Singing songs of joy and peace
      Gm                         
Oh, I wish I had a river I could 
Gm/D  Fadd9   Fsus2 F
skate away on

But it don't snow here
    Bbsus4      Bb
It stays pretty green
             Bbsus4        Bb
I'm going to make a lot of money
                   Bbsus4          
And then I'm gonna quit this crazy
